Biagio2103 6,140 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Some are saying Prism was more successful commercially, but BTW sold 8 million copies in 7 months and was #1 in at least 25 countries, while Prism barely has sold 4 million in almost half a decade and was #1 in 7 countries. Yeah, both Roar and DH were bigger hits than BTW (song), but both songs couldn't be any more safer, while BTW (song) was a political and social statement; Gaga knew all radios had to play it because it was her new song, and so she decided to include words never said on radio before. On the other hand, BTW was nominated for AOTY and would've won if it wasn't for Adele. Prism barely made it to the final cut of Pop Vocal Album. Nothing else to say.

DiscoHeaven23 35,007 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Hmm really not trying to be bias, but i think Born This way really does win Gaga had 3 solid top 10 hits with Born This Way Katy had 2 solid top 10 hits with Prism (both peaking at #1) Each era had their underperforming singles: "Judas", "Marry The Night", "Unconditionally", "Birthday" and "This Is How We Do". Born This Way sold more: 2.4 million Prism sold 1.7 million Tours were both big The Born This Way era was bigger in pop culture, than Prism Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wet Fire 7,404 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Prism had two mega hits. But that's it. BTW was a movement, a chapter in pop culture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyVersace 8,987 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Prism had Roar, which was pitted against Applause. Born This Way changed the scope of pop music, and the way in which mainstream media discusses sexual orientation, gender, and politics. Next. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

weed 73,734 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I mean if you asked “bigger singles” then ya Prism wins it’s in the sales data, but “bigger era” was BTW by far. It was a massive era, everything within it was Born This Way, on theme through and through, 5 singles promoted like hell, 1M+ first week album sales, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
